You know what everyone needs after rampant robotic attacks and another iteration of clone wars? A vacation! That’s right everyone, you deserve this. CERES understands what you need. CERES is here for you all the time, so never doubt that this is a pleasure colony, and they are here to look after all of your needs. Kick your feet up, relax, and let CERES Recreation and Activity Necessity Keepers (Team RANK, that is) set you up with your ideal getaway.

It’s as if you can sense the incoming relaxation and luxury before you even completely finish loading. There’s the warmth encompassing your entire body as your code gets transferred into this particular ViViD Level. A cool, refreshing breeze hits you. The sounds of waves gently lapping against the coast fill you with relaxation. The sun, the sand, the surfs, it’s all there – welcome to the beach, baby!

An echoing greeting message from the ocean comes next, if you can translate it.


OOOOOOOOOOOOHMAHH GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHD.

YOOOOOOOOOOOORRRALL SOOOOOOOOOOOOO KYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

KYOOOOOOOOOOOT EEEENAAAAUUUUUUUF TOOOOOOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.

//SCENARIOS.EXE


PHASE I

[ 08:00 ] That said, isn’t that breeze a little… too strong? It feels like it’s brushing up against all of you, if you know what I mean. When you open your eyes and look down, it becomes rather clear why. It seems that you’ve found yourself in some pretty interesting attire. Everyone. No exceptions. You appear to have two options – be overcome and scream like the Victorian maiden your heart says you are, or strut like a model in this stuff. Turn some heads! Work that up do!

But don’t worry, we’re also conscious about safety here at CERES! Therefore everyone’s also been provided a pair of super high-tech safety-tested appendage protection floatation devices (STAPFD for short.)

At least everyone around you is caught in the same sort of attire – and everyone around you also appears to be stuck inside a giant sand castle. It’s entirely malleable to what you want it to be! Want to see a fancy sand bidet? Feel like adding a sand statue in your honor? Think that wall should now be a door? Well, with enough perseverance, you can make it happen!

Just uh, be careful about getting sand in your… everywhere.

PHASE II

[ 10:00 ] Someone broke it. Not pointing any fingers, even though you sure do seem like a prime suspect, but someone broke it.

It almost starts like an earthquake with how the castle starts to rumble, the sand shaking right beneath your feet. And then the walls right next to you start to cave in followed promptly by the ceiling right… above your head. Oh dear. The sand starts to run and fall, losing its structure and shape. The hallway behind you starts to cave in, ceiling first and then the walls follow suit. Now the sand really is getting everywhere – but not just uncomfortable places. It’s in your hair, your eyes, your nose…. this sure doesn’t seem like a pleasant way to go!

Best to start running – there’s a trusty drawbridge to get over the moat (because what’s a sandcastle without a moat?) but who knows how long until that, too, is going to give way? Best to cross over it before it starts to shake and disappear too. Or if you don’t make it, hopefully you can land some pretty impressive airtime to make it to the other side!

If not, well...there'll be the sensation of sand crushing down upon you, filling your mouth and eyes, and you won't be able to breathe at all – and then you're alive again on the beach (but possibly in yet another new, uncomfortable, skimpy swimsuit). Honestly, be more careful, would you?

PHASE III

[ 12:00 ] However, once you do make it to the other side, it’s all smooth sailing from there! Or is it? Hah, as they say, life sure can be a beach.

Which is what this is.

Welcome to your Beach Episode, folks. Now that you’ve made it out of the collapsing sand castle, you’ve made it to the luxurious, picturesque golden coastline. Sure, you’re coughing up fine, luxurious, sand dust right now and you’ve definitely gotten sand in all of your crevices thanks to your swimsuit, but that’s okay! Go take a soak in the ocean or something or cool off with a smoothie. There’s a smoothie shack off into the distance, complete with a long chalkboard with… well, probably a few familiar names? And some unfamiliar ingredients. Sounds appetizing right?

That said, once you do ingest some of the smoothie with the name of a newcomer, you might suddenly find yourself feeling a bit… different. You’ll be taking on some of their traits, one of the most intense parts of their personality – or you might need to take a second to sit down because you’re suddenly seeing one of their memories. Whoa. What do they actually put in this stuff?

PHASE IV

[ 15:00 ] For the brave souls that venture out into the water, you have even more adventures waiting for you. Anyone who’s swimming around, wading in the water—hell, even looking at the water is getting scooped up and deposited in one of these giant orbs. But don’t take up too much room, because someone else is getting shoved right in there with you. Time to get cozy with your new friend, because it's only going to get worse as the waves begin to carry you out into this big, blue, virtual ocean. Hopefully the choppy waves don’t bounce you around too much or – well, you could always get really friendly with a stranger! Why not?

At least until it’s made very clear that fresh air does not make it back into these balls. That seems like a bit of a design flaw. Now what? Fight the other person who’s inhaling all your air? Suffer through it for swimsuit-clad fun? Or if you break it…. well, you sure are stranded out in the ocean. Or are you?

After enough flailing, you’ll be met by a giant, dumb-looking creature who will then eat you whole.

Everything goes dark. This is surely the end --

And then you're in Cerealia proper; it seems that was the exit to the level (but why there?) and you'll find yourself either in one of the fountains or the pond in the park. Either way, you'll be very, very well. And this time, that's not virtual. But hey, at least you'll have all of your stuff with you.

BONUS

[ xx:xx ] Do you hear that?

Anyone idle on the beach will hear a distant melody coming from further out into the ocean. It’s a beautiful, elegant song that automatically makes the listener stop what they’re doing and immediately wander toward the noise. It takes you a moment to recall – it takes a moment to think about anything now, really – but you remember hearing the smoothie shack owner say something about mermaids populating the beach. Could this be their song calling out to you? Whether you would normally abide by this kind of call or not, you find your feet walking further and further out into the water, the shallows lapping up to your ankles and up and up as you are drawn in by the song.

A rather classic song, though the usual instances of French are also replaced with the very enticing, enchanting nonsense promise of omelette du fromage........and then they try to drown you.

[ Timcanpy quivers just a little above Kashuu's head. Allen opens his mouth and starts to speak slowly ]

Then what they said about the Flamines and our worlds being destroyed. ...Those are lies too?

[ It's not hard to tell what exactly Allen is fixating on here. Not the fact that he's a test subject, potentially at mercy to a power greater than he can comprehend, but the fact that if it's a lie then ]

[ everyone he cares about is safe, right? ]

[Hiro? Yes. Tadashi? Not...so much after that mess with Ami. Rei wouldn't leave him to die in a raptor pit but after how he'd treated her best friend, she wouldn't exactly call him a friend.]

Hiro and I are friends, yes. [Just glossing over Tadashi.] He's a sweet young man.
faithfulflame: (Rei Wise)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2016-05-17 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Rei does quietly elect to ignore the command to thank her a second time. She was not the sort to accept orders from anyone save her own queen and her leader until they'd proven themselves more capable than Rei herself...which was a feat. But, questions she'll answer, meeting emerald eyes with purple.]

It's to make us uncomfortable, I believe. Ii's a simple thing for them to do, a way to toy with us while testing their new simulations.

[As for the rest, Rei shrugs her shoulders and gestures to Nero herself.]

The people on this list are all newcomers to the colony of Cerealia. I have been here for seven months now, and that doesn't exactly qualify as new. They might hold a grudge against me though, for numerous reasons. I have not exactly quietly submitted to their commands.

[She had, in fact, blasted into their facility at one point and released five very, very powerful ghosts...

Wrinkling her nose as she surveys the drink list, the priestess shakes her head.]


And no, I believe I'll pass. None of this sounds particularly appealing to me. I'll probably just order water.

[She steadies herself quickly at least, and once she's upright and steady, she starts patting herself down, checking for articles in her pockets. Absently, she does respond.]

That's right. Or...I think it is. Someone told me it was a game called Vivid, I...think? Something about newcomers ending up there.
onerous: (Can we go back to that day)

I'm a friend of Lee, and Neji-san. [For a given value of 'friendship' when it comes to Neji. She assumes they're friends, anyhow. She knows she's friends with Lee.] Lee's told me about chakra before, but I haven't been able to see it in use too much.

[Which is sort of a lie because she's accidentally perused Lee's memories before and seen snippets here and there of other people, but that would take a lot more explaining than Yuri wants to deal with currently.]

I'm... assuming you're from the same world as them, anyhow. Am I wrong?

Well! It sounds like you and I might want consider staying together then.

[Felicia is nice, and she's a woman, so it won't be awkward. Moreover, she's Yuna's age, which helps...and roommates lower rent!]

What do you think?

[personal profile] clownage 2016-05-17 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ no it's okay, JUST LEAVE ALLEN TO DROWN he's totally fine here, falling towards the ocean of certain death!!

But then he sees Puu racing towards him in the corner of his eye, and Allen takes this opportunity to twist himself in midair and thrust out Crown Clown, slinging the material far enough to loop neatly around one of Puu's legs. Then yanking hard, Allen flips over in the air like a flapjack and lands with a grunt on Puu's back.

hopefully not on top of Yusuke or anything, or his elbow might accidentally jab Yusuke in the gut ]

Me, stay still - ? [ HE SHOULD BE SAYING THAT TO YOU. ] F-Fine, I got it!

[ Hakata doesn't waste a second moving to the said direction though. If his fellow hamster-ball inmate is finally willing to talk, then why should he?

But the thing is still a sphere, and that means limited space. Even if he's at the opposite side and not on top of Heisuke, they're pretty close. ]


This really is the worst paid vacation ...

[ These are real ears?!? Wow, has Timcanpy met a true cosplayer? But at Kaden's question, Timcanpy floats off Kaden's head and then splits his mouth open again. Except instead of a sharp-toothed smile, he spits out a small visual image of a red fox leaping for Timcanpy.... ]

[ That's what Kaden is, isn't he? He probably has a tail too, doesn't he! Timcanpy might not be able to speak, but he's doing his best to say "why do you have fox ears are you a fox but foxes look like this and i'm confused where's allen" ]

[a game that tests your lying capabilities...knowingly or unknowingly, this stranger had picked something suited to him, but Chrollo keeps himself from openly showing how cocky he felt about that. the most he allows is a smile to match this man's, seeming to think before he offers out what he views as the only thing of value in this place.]

As we don't have any currency or any items worthwhile to trade, the winner should be allowed to make a request of the loser. Something they're capable of doing, and within the bounds of decency, but other than that...the choice is up to them. Sound good?
fadeling: (Complicate)

[personal profile] fadeling 2016-05-17 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
It's both, but neither. I don't know what it is. [That seems, though, to be the normal state of being here. He doesn't know quite a bit, and he doesn't understand quite a bit more. Thedas is confusing at the best of times, and here is only that much worse.]

Ah -- you're friends with them? [ That's definitely something to keep in mind. ]

I haven't seen them in this level, but they're still in the colony if you don't find them here.

[personal profile] sympathe 2016-05-17 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? But your name's not on the blackboard or anything Hijikata-san. Besides, I looked around for you a whole lot before; I thought you must not be here either.

( It's fine, it's fine, despite all his excuses his expression hasn't really fallen, so it's safe to assume he's definitely not minding Hijikata finding him. There's a long and thoughtful hum as he looks, but he agrees! It's named after him, after all, so he's sure it'll turn out... alright...

More importantly: )


You can afford these, Hijikata-san? ( Or was he not counting the other named after him for the price. ) Hmm, in that case, can you get me the Karna-val!

( Don't let him down, Hijikata-san. )

( with the repositioning, it is better than how they were previously placed about. he doesn't look like much of an ass man so it's understandable that he'd wish to move her ass from his face and now they see each other much better than before, face to face. she is not pleased, not at all since his words previously had mocked her beautiful form. many would wish to have the beauty that she has and yet they are to suffer! ) If you attack me too much. Who knows what may happen!

( he says there's nothing to worry about, or perhaps he's just too carefree to even think about their surroundings. so nero will do that for him. ) Do understand, you wish to see more and as much as I'd show you my body; now is not the time. Or moreso, until I decide it. ( yeah, it's not the time, but the SNAP! is loud in nero's ears. how one side of the fabric quickly loops around her neck and leaves a nice set of uncovered jubblies in their midsts. there's a part of her that has hesitated, not because she's naked (luckily her lower body is still safe and the fabric hasn't fell past her hips, but at the sight of these knockers free brings nero's brows to twitch and cheeks to flush. it must be a nice sight for heisuke, having been so curious and bringing her clothes to break. )

... T-To look upon me when I deemed you could not! Cover your eyes, you savage! You have no reason to behold my beautiful body, the most I show is all you should see! I said cover them! Obey me! ( ah yes, what happens next is that saber lurches forward to cover heisuke's eyes away from looking at her, there's a small bit of panic but it's quickly removed with the clear of her throat. the fact that she's on top of him like this, it's not like it's unknown to her and yet. ) Don't say a thing!

[ CHUUYA...... ]

[ At least they weren't sold into slavery in exchange for these drinks (yet???). Allen takes his and looks at the skull with some trepidation at the mention of "eye sockets". It... It's really a human skull, huh. Or just... an amazing copy. ]

Is this really an occasion worth celebrating?

[ But he's thirsty!! And hungry!!! So as Allen takes a sip, he glances over at Chuuya, probably about to formulate a question like "do you think the shop owner will use our skulls for cups next" until he stops and COUGHS. A LOT. ]

[ he's not about to sport a fedora or see an embarrassing memory of Chuuya's, is he....... ]

[personal profile] fursonality 2016-05-17 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He indeed has a tail! Though, he's sitting on it, mostly because the swimsuit he got was almost all right aside from the fact that it's revealing his backside to the world, and he hides it with his tail instead. It's so crass, after all, and he was nothing if not completely vain about appearances.]

Wooow! How did you do that, little guy? [As of this moment, that's probably his name to Kaden.] That's cool! Are you trying to ask if that's what I am?

[Because it's a fox! He's a fox. It's totally the same.]

I'm more gorgeous though. I'd show you, but I don't have a beaststone right now. [But it looks like he has less guard over his drink now, when he's so enamored by the hologram.]
adornmental: (pensive)

[personal profile] adornmental 2016-05-17 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[HE'S A WALKING SPOILER, SORRY ALLEN!!

Though that gives him pause since boy, this is a big can of worms to open on a new arrival, huh... He reaches up to pat Timcanpy again, thinking about how he wants to phrase "haha if only".]


...We don't have direct confirmation, but - at this rate, I think it's more likely that they're just lying about how our worlds were destroyed. The Flamines are contract killers and they're in a contract with CERES. That's about all we know, detail-wise.

[Not a pretty picture.]

[ The towel is a wonderful plan, don't worry Naoki. Hakata just chose not to use it because of all the shrieking ladies and gents.

But yes, Hakata is starting to feel that weary of life phase coming on too. ]


Yeah, you're right ... Maybe I should think about the good points instead.

[ He's drawing blank at the moment but give him a second. ]

[He smiles bashfully as his shoulder is patted.]

Ah! Yes, those objects! [He completely forgot about them, and he tries to tug at his own.] Perhaps they can help us in that way! [And he adds a thumbs up.] Nice idea, Honey Lemon-san!

[... Yep. She definitely catches how she glosses over Tadashi. Honey files this little tidbit away to the back of her mind, hoping to ask Tadashi about this later.]

He is! I'm happy to know him. He's gonna do great things.

[Well, best not to ask. It's a sore point given Tadashi's timing, and the simple fact that he was so caught up in his own stuff that he'd completely missed the point of several very important conversations. Basically? Tadashi was a stupid boy.]

He already has, by the sounds of things. You're one of his super-hero team, aren't you?

[ this is the worst beach episode ever ]

[ but before Allen can proceed down the spiral of angst and shock and disgust that CERES might actually be behind the terrible things he saw happening to his world and had the audacity to lie to his face about it..... ]

[ Kashuu might be feeling something... wet. on his head. ]

[ It's water. ]

[ Timcanpy's crying. ]

[ A lot. He's like a little fountain himself, weeping all over Kashuu's nicely made hair with nary a sound because Timcanpy apparently still can't speak?? So he's just silently crying?! Allen, thankfully, also notices and the expression on his face is like what's going on ]


Tim?!?

[Johnny probably wouldn't have stared if the other guy were just wearing the same weird clothing as everyone else. But no, that was definitely a Stand wrapped around him to keep out prying eyes. Ooookay.

Except only other stand-users would be able to see it, right? In that case, were there a lot of them here? Johnny felt a bit ruffled and uneasy at the idea and glanced quickly about, but he couldn't see anything else like a stand in the area. What the hell?]


Even for water? Huh. I don't know how they expect us to pay for shit when we're dressed like this anyway. Where the hell am I supposed to keep my money?

[He paused, as if regretting his words a little.]

Don't answer that.

[personal profile] businessboy 2016-05-17 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm, you mean something like a toy ... ? [ It seems logical, so he turns to thank whoever for the idea. The thing is, he didn't think he would be face-to-face with Nakigitsune and his fox friend. ]

Wah, Uncle - ... I mean, Nakigitsune! So you are here too!

[ But his initial surprise is quickly replaced with joy. They might be not be the closest pair in Awataguchi school, but Hakata glad to see him nonetheless! ]
